Many observers suspect that the Hamas leader who was killed in Dubai was assassinated by Israeli agents clandestinely using passports of British citizens living in Israel. But Israel's Defense Minister, Avigdor Lieberman, claims that there is no proof that Israeli agents were involved. Note the non-denial, just that there is no proof.

"The operation was clinical. The hit-team successfully escaped Dubai. But they left telltale traces. The false foreign passports used by the alleged team of secret agents have been identified and six of them are British. That is diplomatic problem number one.

"Problem number two is identity theft. The passports used the names of real people, British citizens, with dual nationality, who happen to live in Israel, who had absolutely no knowledge of what was going on.

"Nobody yet of course has any proof-positive as to who carried out the operation. There may be no "smoking gun". Nonetheless what you might call the "smouldering passports" suggest that Israel has some questions to answer.

"If Israel was indeed behind this assassination then some, even in Israel, may well suggest that they have scored a costly own goal."

DEFEAT REP. JIM MATHESON 2ND CONG. DIST. UTAH

Rep. Jim Matheson votes against progressive values. Jim Matheson claims he is a "Blue Dog" Democrat. All that means is that he is against health care reform, against small people being able to obtain relief in bankruptcy, against Latino immigration. At the same time, Matheson supports the Defense of Marriage Act, the War in Iraq and Bush's tax cuts. Matheson claims to be a "Democrat," but he is worse than any mean Utah Republican.

Welcome to ROBERTO ANTONIO HUSSEIN - on the news and U.S. foreign policy.

Our goalis to review the news for content, balance and completeness. We take an iconoclastic and critical approach. We have seen what a spineless media will allow and pawn off as "news" when it takes the bait of people in power. Consider how the U.S. administration foisted the War in Iraq on an ill-informed public by using its many spokesmen and enablers in the media.
